I get that, but when we are discussing Manchester City, they should never depend on one or two injuries in a way that destroys the whole season if that happens. Yes it can happen and if Messi was to get injured back when he played for Barcelona, it literally meant that the game is going to be completely different. But they should still be able to compensate for these incidents on a level that the season is still not that much at risk. It does change the trajectory of a season, but it shouldn't to the extent that it is game over as soon as an important player misses a lot of games.
Manchester City have lost 4 matches in a row due to injured players. Manchester City's performance and style of play looks like they be weak. They have to win matches because if they lose a few matches now, their position will be in jeopardy because they will lose a lot of matches. Which can damage their foundation and it will make a big difference in their standing position. if there are injuries, there will be no difference in the strength of Barcelona. Because Barcelona is a strong team and will win most of the matches because their record is only 2 losing matches. It will be known in the next few matches whether the game will end or not. There is a huge difference between Manchester City and Barcelona but I will put Barcelona ahead and Manchester City is not strong enough to compete with Barcelona.
